Dog piling

"Dog piling" - Is that what is called?Not sure how this could be enforced exactly. Or whether moderators would really want to be responsible for enforcing it. But you are probably right in so far as self-censorship is concerned. There definitley comes a point where sheer number of responses can be overwhelming. Especially for a new member. Especially for a new member taking a creationist/IDist position on this forum.I am sure I have "dog piled" before. The smell of fresh blood just too much to resist. But you have a point.Were you thinking of new members Chuck77 and Portillo by any chance?

Fair enough. Would you suggest a first come first serve basis or would you prefer the moderators select the best two dog pile responses and hide the rest?If the latter some of those who consider themselves to be the smartest guy in the room might have their delusions rudely interrupted. Maybe not such a bad thing...... I should probably pay more heed to such things. But as the smartest guy in the room I always think I have something of value to add.

That could work. I made it to second on your list huh?You only came third on mine.........
